SPINDLE-DBIVING ARRANGEMENT FOB fiPINNING MACHINES.

Application filed December 11, 12-535, Serial No. 74,809, and iii-Poland September 1, 1925.

This invention relates to an improvement in a spindle driving arrangement for spinning machines wherein the motors for the independent driving or the spindles are arranged in relatively oliset horizontal planes as to adjacent motors, with the alternate motors in substantially the same horizontal plane whereby to permit the utilization or" driving motors of a diameter exceeding that between adjacent spindles.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a View in elevation showing the arrangement of motors in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a side elevation showing the casing motor clamped to the spinning trame.

Figure 3 is a sectional view, partly in elevation, showing the antifriction support for the end of the spindle.

Figure t is a plan view of the motor casing clamp.

The frame 1 and spindles 2 are of the usual arrangement and the independent .driving motors 3 are mounted on the spindles in relatively offset relation, that is, the adjacent motors are vertically offset to utilize the full space between the spindles on opposite sides to that on which the particular motor is mounted. Thus the motors may be of a diameter materially greater than that which would be permitted if the motors were in horizontal alignment.

To secure the motor casingto the frame 1 and also to support the lower ends of the spindles there is provided a clamp comprising separable jaws ll adjusted through the medium of a set-screw i l and having a right angl d terminal 12 adapted to be secured to the trame by a screw 12. That spindle 2 having its terminal in the motor casing, as the central spindl ind1cated in Figure 1, may have a ball bearing relation in that casing through the medium of a ball receiving the thrust of a hardened pin 9 removably connected to the spindle end and an annular ball bearing 15, as indicated in Figure 3.

Obviously, the independent driving means for the spindles, when arranged as described, permits a more certain and positive operation without strain on the parts incident to the larger motors permitted without an increase in the spacing of the spindles which, of course, is not desired in this type of spinning machine.

lVhat is claimed as new is:

In combination with the spindles of a spinning machine, of a motor for driving each spindle, the motors of adjacent spindles being in relatively offset horizontal planes, the motors for alternate spindles being substantiallv in horizontal alignment, whereby to permit the utilization of driving motors ot' a larger diameter than the distance between adjacent spindles.

Dated this 21st day of September. 1925.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature.
